Traditional Flat Roof Fruit Cages

Offering high quality whilst being great value, our traditional flat roof fruit cage is so versatile it’ll fit within any surroundings from allotments to large open orchards.

Choose either Galvanised Steel or Powder Coated Black and with our easily fitted door kit, you can add as many doors as you wish.

Our fruit cages are manufactured from a 25mm diameter ArmourGuard galvanised steel tube with a 1.5mm wall thickness, this galvanised tube is then powder-coated for our black colour options.

 

Like all Northern Polytunnels products, we design with quality and strength in mind, not cost!

Not all fruit cages are built the same

With over 50 years of experience designing and manufacturing, we know that quality counts, that’s why we build our fruit cages to last.

As standard, all our fruit cages are built with ArmourGuard Steel which lasts 10x longer than normal pre-galvanised steel.

The framework comprises 25mm (1”) diameter high-strength steel tubing with a 1.5mm wall thickness. Tubes are connected together with galvanised ARMOURGUARD® steel joiners, swaged to provide a neat and robust connection. This produces a framework that is up to 30% stronger than competitive systems.

The diameter of the tube size equals strength, and our standard size tube is 25mm with a 1.5mm wall thickness, this galvanised tube is then powder-coated for our black colour options.

fruit cage parts

The main part of any fruit cage are the connecting joints, this is where we have built-in strength, exactly where it’s needed, they are tubular with welded joints, not plastic inserts which fail over a relatively short period of time.

fruit cage doors

Supplied with hinges, door fasteners and individual door posts. For ease of access, you can add an extra door to any size fruit cage.

Extra door kit includes; two independent upright door posts allowing the door to be positioned anywhere around the cage perimeter.

Side Extruded Anti-Bird Netting
